I dunno what to feel about the lockon. Aiming was a mess on 3ds but wouldn't the controllers fix that? I just dont like the idea of being locked to specific part of a giant monster at cruical times since itd affect my dodges
Just don't do it then, I personally wont use lock on this time around either
You have 3 options, lock-on as it is shown, lock-on as in 4 and forth, and no lock on whatsoever. Just choose 1 that suits your playstyle.
There's something else shown in that video, during the later anjanath hunt, you can lock-on to different parts of the monster. And you can post emojis to the usual chat window now, I'm sure capcom will have a few bundles of those ready to sell, or as pre-order bonus or something.

I feel like the old adage practice makes perfect fits really well here. The reward might not be character experience or levels, its player experience. Each time the player fights a monster, they (hopefully) learn the tells and signs and weaknesses a little bit better. The fight becomes a little less sloppy. Ive seen it so many times that I know instinctively when Rathian takes two steps back shes about to do her little poison flip and Id better gtfo.
Without constant repeated exposure to stuff like that, Id still fall for it. Okay sure, that monster was really hard and I feel accomplished beating him. And now I have to fight it again? But I did waaaay better the second time and even better the third. I can measure my own skill and progress as a player like that. That in and of itself feels good.
Am I excited for a low drop rate? No thats silly. What I am excited to do is fight monsters over and over because that part of the gameplay, the monster fighting part is what Im here for. I cant tell you how many Nargacugas Ive fought. But I cant wait to fight dozens more. Really hope hes in.

I get peoples issues with the material drops being tiny but without it the games lasting appeal plummets. What they should do with the 3% drop rates is after a certain amount of the hunts the chance of getting said rate material begins to rise percentage wise. So it would start at 3% then after a bit of hunts raise to 6% then 15% etc. that way you aren't spending literal hours just trying to get such a rare material but still playing enough to actually become really good at fighting that specific monster.

I've never spent literal hours on a drop before. I'm not particularly lucky, but stuff like the deep dragon gem from ceadeus in 3U that has a 2-3 percent nominal drop rate are in actuality more like 15 percent when you factor in that you get 6 body carves, each with a 2 percent chance and a 3 percent chance of it being a mission reward if you break his beard.
MH1 could get away with it because the roster was so small. Try doing that in a game with a roster four times the size and let's see what player retention looks like then.
Just speculation. The fact that they've now made a special animation for a rare carve suggests to me that they're not messing around with the drop rates much, if at all.

Got it, thanks. Sorry for asking obvious stuff, I'm not on the internet that much these days.
I don't like a lot of the changes but I love the rare carve animation xD MH needs its goofy moments.
This is not G rank so I don't need to see a bunch of 2% drops to feel like I'm playing the real deal, they can go loco with the end game stuff.

I think it only locks on to the core of a monster and it doesn't actually affect your movement or attacks like Z-targeting in Zelda would (so no strafing and flipping around relative to the monster or automatically swinging towards it and stuff).
From what I've seen, it's really just a tool to help you not lose track of the monster in certain situations.
And as others have said, it's completely optional. No need to use it except if you want to.
Lol, at first it looked like he died from fall damage, but on a second look, it was the poison that killed him, still pretty funny though:

I'm so addicted to Bushido/Adept style that it's going to be a nice change going back to vanilla when this finally releases. Switch Axe will be my main weapon again yay!
And I'm not going to lie. I am very excited to see a lock-on system that stays on the monster. I hope it doesn't freak out when you get stuck in a corner with the monster though.

Capcom has released a digital manual for the TGS demo, you can download it here:
http://www.capcom.co.jp/game/content/mhb/features/20170914000046
At the bottom icon, with the word pdf on it.
It lists what quests you can take on, basic controls and moves for each weapon.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I won't be upset if they are included in the game as I got nothing against those Monsters but I hope that Brachydios and Gore Magala don't get an auto free pass for their inclusion into Monster Hunter World because of their unique Mechanic/Element.
Nullbeery was spotted in the demo so I would like a new Monster to make use of that Frenzy Virus encounter besides Gore Magala.
Brachydios has been getting a free ride ever since his inception in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to justify the Slime/Blast Element in the games but in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate we saw other Blast type Monsters so I want a new Monster to represent the Blast Element.
Of course the likely hood of this happening is relatively low because Capcom is the King of Asset flipping or updating their own Models/Sprites because it's so much easier/cheaper to do so.

I completely forgot Nullbeery had other uses besides removing Frenzy but still my point stands I don't want to see Gore Magala getting an auto free pass to jump on the rooster...at least not him or Shagaru Magala give us a new varient at the very least if they must asset flip him from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
That's true, but the tooltip on the nulberry referenced virus so we know that one of those two or a new monster is in for sure. I'd wager gore is back.
Also someone on reddit spotted sushifish tooltip says it removes bleeding, so either seregios, ceanataur, or a new bleed monster is coming.
That's fair. Gore is a rather popular monster (hard not to be with how great its design is), and Frenzy was a neat little risk/reward mechanic that normal Blights don't begin to compare to. I just don't know if you could really "give" that to another monster, given the backstory of Frenzy is so heavily tied to Gore Magala existing.
Crimson fatalis, Teostra, and congalala were given blast.
Teostra getting Blastblight turned an already great monster into an all-timer. I just love how much more active you need to be against him now.
With the exception of Lagiacrus and the Generations gang, I wouldn't be surprised if every other previous flagship monster is returning. And even then, I can still see them throwing in Lagi just because everyone loves his design so much, despite him being a dead fuck on land.
I really like the new monsters in generations but I'd be amazed if they included them.
Oh I never made it to those except congalala.. I don't think I noticed it on congalala

It doesn't happen often, but he can eat Nitroshrooms which gives his fart attack Blastblight. I think it's more common on G-rank, but I'm pretty sure he's capable of it on lower ranks.
I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't mind if they added in a few more mini games or side activities. A well done card game like Gwent that you could play against other players when you're hanging out in town or at the campsite on one of the maps could be a cool way to kill time. Could even work it into things like trading in specific monster parts or doing quests to get better cards or that sort of thing. Wouldn't really affect the actual monster hunting gameplay in any real way and adds a little extra for when you aren't running around hunting.

Hypnocatrice. Think a Yian Kut-Ku but instead of fire, it puts you to sleep.
It can also be put to sleep, which is hilarious. Its own weapon in MHO can do this!
I hope they give us the snap lock on like in the 3DS games.
Snap was the default option in the demo.

Agreed!
I could be imagining it, but I was sure they already said it was coming back in one of the interviews. Anyone else recall that being the case?
Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if the only returning monster they've yet to show is Rathian.
